Old favorite restaurant changed for the worse!
I'm BUMMED!!! My favorite Sunday brunch restaurant officially went down the tubes. Two *** men bought it years ago and went about making changes. Getting rid of the linen tablecloths for paper placemats, no candles, etc. The stupidest of which was instead of kitchen oven toasting the English muffins and bagels and tossing them in a chaffing dish for the patrons to pluck from, they put a few toasters out for them to waste time standing there toasting their own. I protested at the idea but they were too proud at being new restaurateurs to even consider it a preposterous one. Today, I walk in and all the nice dining room tables are hidden behind five foot high walled cubicles. You can't see the rest of the patrons once they walk in their cubicle and sit down out of sight. It actually made me feel like I was walking around in a rat maze. I said hello to two waitresses who always served me well for all of almost 15 years. I asked who in their right mind would "privatize" the typical restaurant experience like this? They gave me pained smiles, in defense claiming the food hadn't changed! A very anti-social feel to the place, now. I walked out telling the hostess, "I changed my mind." I'll never go back. They also changed the name of the place. Andy -- I'm no longer a danger to society. |
